At least not alone. It would be pretty cool (and peacefu) though. So, I'm having trouble deciding what I really need.....

I'll look at all of your suggestions and keep reading for now.
If you want to do more night riding (not the question I just answered), I would recommend the Planet Bike Alias as a starter. Performance usually has it for less than $100, and it's BRIGHT. NOT HID bright, but I've been mistaken for a car and never had trouble seeing. Of course, if you *really* want to get into night riding (I did), take a look at the Schmidt generator lights. I now have 2 Schmidts and one Shimano. Night riding can be addictive
